Cisco UCS-CPU-I8260C= Intel 8260 2.4 GHz 24-Core 165 W | CPU, DDR4 — UCS-CPU-I8260C=

Maintain consistent performance across compute-heavy Cisco UCS deployments with the Intel 8260 processor. This 24-core CPU is designed for environments that need strong parallel execution, predictable response times, and the thermal headroom to support sustained server workloads. With a 2.4 GHz base frequency, 35.75 MB cache, and 165 W TDP, it is well suited for virtualization hosts, database tiers, private cloud nodes, and application servers where core count and cache capacity matter. DDR4 2933 MHz support helps align the processor with modern memory architectures used in performance-focused infrastructure. For teams standardizing on Cisco UCS, this processor offers a clear path to higher consolidation ratios without sacrificing operational stability. It is a practical choice when the goal is to support more workloads per chassis while preserving the performance envelope expected in enterprise environments. When CPU selection affects uptime, density, and long-term platform value, this part fits the brief. Ideal For Virtualization hosts running mixed enterprise workloads Database servers requiring high core density and cache capacity Private cloud nodes built on Cisco UCS infrastructure Application consolidation in performance-sensitive data centers Why This Product 1 Higher core count than entry server CPUs for better consolidation 2 Larger cache than lower-tier parts for steadier workload performance 3 DDR4 2933 MHz support for modern memory bandwidth 4 165 W TDP suited to performance-oriented Cisco UCS builds
